Why the Richest Man in History Was MISERABLE Beyond Belief
King Solomon’s profound misery, detailed in the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, stemmed from the realization that his immense wealth, wisdom, and power ultimately offered no lasting satisfaction or eternal meaning. Despite surpassing all other kings in riches—earning an estimated 666 talents of gold annually—and possessing unparalleled wisdom, he concluded that life under the sun was “vanity and vexation of spirit” because death renders all earthly achievements meaningless.
His despair was compounded by several key factors:
- Spiritual Apostasy: Solomon violated biblical prohibitions by accumulating 700 wives and 300 concubines, many of whom were foreign nobles. These relationships led him to build high places for their idols, causing him to worship other gods and lose his exclusive covenant relationship with God, which resulted in God’s judgment and the eventual division of his kingdom.
- Oppressive Governance: To fund his lavish lifestyle and massive building projects, Solomon imposed heavy taxes and used forced labor on resident aliens and Israelites. This abuse of power created deep resentment among his people, leading to national instability and rebellion immediately after his death.
- Existential Futility: In his later years, Solomon reflected that neither wealth, pleasure, nor hard work could provide true joy or prevent death. He famously stated that there is “nothing new under the sun,” recognizing that his legacy was insecure and his earthly gains were transient, leaving him with a deep sense of emptiness despite his external success.
What Does The KJV Bible Say?
King Solomon, widely recognized as the wealthiest man in history, became “miserable beyond belief” because he pursued worldly pleasures, riches, and power while neglecting his relationship with God, resulting in a profound sense of meaningless and despair, as documented in the book of Ecclesiastes (KJV). Despite having everything, Solomon found that material possessions cannot satisfy the soul.
Here are 10 examples of Solomon’s misery based on KJV Bible verses from Ecclesiastes:
10 Examples of Solomon’s Misery (KJV)
| # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] | Source (KJV) | Type of Misery |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Eccl 1:2 | “Vanity of vanities… all is vanity.” – He realized all achievements were ultimately meaningless. |
| 2 | Eccl 1:18 | “For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.” – He felt misery because his high intelligence revealed the deep flaws and emptiness of life. |
| 3 | Eccl 2:1 | “I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.” – He found that constant indulgence did not bring true happiness. |
| 4 | Eccl 2:17 | “Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me…” – He developed a depression so deep he despised his own existence. |
| 5 | Eccl 2:18 | “Yea, I hated all my labour… because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.” – He felt misery knowing he would die and leave his fortune to someone else, perhaps a fool. |
| 6 | Eccl 2:23 | “For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night.” – He experienced insomnia and constant anxiety, unable to find peace despite his wealth. |
| 7 | Eccl 4:8 | “…his eye is not satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good?” – He realized he was living a lonely, selfish life with an unquenchable desire for more. |
| 8 | Eccl 5:10 | “He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver…” – He recognized that hoarding wealth only increases longing, never contentment. |
| 9 | Eccl 6:2 | “…yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it…” – He felt bitter that one may possess wealth but be unable to enjoy it. |
| 10 | 1 Kings 11:4 | “…his wives turned away his heart after other gods…” – His ultimate misery stemmed from losing his close connection with God due to his idolatrous marriages. |
Summary of Why He Was Miserable
Solomon’s misery was not caused by a lack of money, but because he tried to find satisfaction “under the sun” (apart from God) rather than in God Himself. He concluded that without God, everything—labor, pleasure, and wisdom—is a “striving after wind”.
His final conclusion, aimed at warning others, was to “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13, KJV).

This is a major important point about forgiveness
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -MATTHEW 5:24 KJV
Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?
I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.
When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.
We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.
Women are looking for a fathers love
Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in Christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave theses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.
Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.
Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)
In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.
Spiritual Order – In The Family and Church
God the father
Jesus Christ
Father (Men over women)
Mother (Women over children)
Here is Book, Chapter and Verse from the Kings James Version 1 Corinthian 11:2-16, But the main message is in 1 Corinthian 11:3: “3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.
All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.
After Reading The Passage I would Recommend Doing A Silent Prayer
Its is said: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)

In a world where it is so easy to forget the importance of God, we must remember that He is holy and will not share His glory. America has forgotten this truth and it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with God and recognize that He is the one true God who deserves our full devotion and reverence. We must remember that He will not be taken lightly or ignored, but rather should be honored as the Creator of all things. Only then can we truly experience His love and grace in our lives.
